You will need to submit a printed version of your 4-level outline in Hard Copy. If you have the 4-Level outline complete as of Friday, 3/27, then you should submit your hard copy in class. If you cannot complete your 4-level outline by Friday in class, submit your progress (your incomplete 4-level outline) to turnitin.com by 6pm. The title is below.

After you have submitted your progress, then you can continue (over the weekend) to improve your 4-level outline. Once you finish it during the weekend, print a hard copy to give to Mr. Braman in class on Monday, March 27th and submit to turnitin.com as a ‘revision 2’..

Here are the expectations and accomplishments. Please check in with Mr. Braman if you are having difficulties. Your grade will not be updated on a daily basis; you will probably receive your productivity points all at once.

If you are altering (or have altered) your research topic after 3/10, you will still be expected to do a two-level outline (and check in with Mr. B) and then advance to a four-level outline. Topics may not be changed after Monday, 3/27. As a reminder, these are the due dates as published in the Internal assessment 2017 Overview given on the first day – Feb 28.

Your next due date is a draft of Criterion 1 – your OPcVL. It should be around 500 words. For suggestions on word count, consult your Internal assessment 2017handout. Don’t forget your OPCVL details and reminders that were presented in class last week. The rubric that will be applied to the OPCVL is also in the Internal assessment 2017handout. I’ve put it below as well:

Criterion A: Identification and evaluation of sources (6 marks)

0

The work does not reach a standard described by the descriptors below.

1–2

The question for investigation has been stated. The student has identified and selected appropriate sources, but there is little or no explanation of the relevance of the sources to the investigation.

The response describes, but does not analyse or evaluate, two of the sources.

3–4

An appropriate question for investigation has been stated. The student has identified and selected appropriate sources, and there is some explanation of the relevance of the sources to the investigation.

There is some analysis and evaluation of two sources, but reference to their value and limitations is limited.

5–6

An appropriate question for investigation has been clearly stated. The student has identified and selected appropriate and relevant sources, and there is a clear explanation of the relevance of the sources to the investigation.

There is a detailed analysis and evaluation of two sources with explicit discussion of the value and limitations of two of the sources for the investigation, with reference to the origins, purpose and content of the two sources.

Start by finding call numbers for the books you find, then write a brief blurb about what you hope to find there. This link from our Skyline Library will help you get access to the UW library system and find books that they have on site.
